Déjà familière avec le monde de l’arbitrage après 4 ans d’arbitrage au hockey, Emmanuelle a décidé de vivre l’expérience de l’arbitrage au baseball. Bien que ce défi était de taille, on peut dire qu’au terme de sa première saison, Emmanuelle est une arbitre hors pair. En effet, elle a réalisé tout un exploit en officiant à 3 championnats provinciaux et 1 championnat canadien bantam féminin, où elle a réussi à épater ses superviseurs, et ce, dès sa première année.
***************
Already familiar with the officiating world after 4 years of refereeing hockey, Emmanuelle decided to give umpiring a try. Although it was a challenge, it is safe to say that Emmanuelle was an exceptional umpire in her first season. In fact, she accomplished quite the feat by umpiring at 3 provincial championships and a 16U Girls National Championship where she impressed supervisors, all of this in her first year.
